  • Genuine passion for the gaming industry, with first-hand experience as a gamer.

  • Strong self-motivation and ability to work independently, including setting up personal work plans and driving execution in a fast-paced environment.

  • Excellent English communication skills (both written and verbal); proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a strong plus.

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to collaborate with international partners and internal game studios.

  • Exposure to the full cycle of external partnerships, from initial discussions to co-development execution.

  • A dynamic, international working environment with growth opportunities in the gaming industry.
